The other thing I felt was a weakness with Tropico 6 is the lack of a proper campaign. Zooming seems to have a mind of its own, often zooming all the way in without any good reason. Selecting what to build and where to build it is easy enough, but controlling the camera is rather difficult. It’s just the weakness of this kind of games on console versus on PC. It’s not a catastrophe, by all means – and Tropico 6 isn’t any worse than any other game in the same genre. There’s really just two issues I have with Tropico 6 ( at least on PS4) – the controls. You also have a very well made tutorial mode, which consists of a few short introductions to the different mechanics in-game, and after a short while you’re ready to go. Sure, it’s different goals each time, but the way there is often very similar. The missions are good too, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Personally, I preferred the sandbox mode, as I felt it allowed me to take longer to apply mine envisions for the future of my country. Tropico 6 consists of two kinds of gameplay – sandbox mode and missions. You can go for a communist approach, a capitalist approach, or somewhere in between. You can focus on industry, luxury wares or tourism. The same goes for your goal of becoming a successful leader. It’s a proverb that most of us have heard before.

Sure, the main gameplay consists of earning money, remaining in power, and have a relatively happy society.

More importantly, though, the game has lots of different types of ways to play. You can also watch your citizens go about their lives. Moving through the eras allows the buildings to change looks, as well as more buildings to be unlocked. Sure, it’s not Red Dead Redemption 2, but it’s way beyond what is needed for a city-builder. The first thing that hit me was how good Tropico 6 looked. Just keep this in mind, and build a few libraries in. It will work similarly to the Newspaper, but you won’t see the blue influence circle. Again you’ll have to research the Library building but it will give you an option, Uncensored Portfolio, to increase Liberty in the surrounding area. I had never tried any of the Tropico games before, but Tropico 6 could be a good place to start, right? Did I have the x-factor to be El Presidente ( or is it La Presidenta, when I’m a girl? My Spanish isn’t good enough… ) though? A secret way to raise Liberty is with Libraries. I’ve always loved city builder games, Cities: Skylines and SimCity to mention two of them.
